The All-New Reports Application Features Sleek Design, Ability to ‘Set It and Forget It’

Check out this video for a sneak peek of TargetSolutions’ all-new reports application, which launches later this month featuring enhancements for scheduling and sharing reports, as well as a new user interface.

In late August, TargetSolutions is scheduled to launch the all-new reports application. The comprehensive overhaul of the platform’s reporting tool, Generate Reports, as well as updates to the user interface, were designed to make TargetSolutions more intuitive, easy to use and effective.

The end result is more capability for scheduling and sharing reports:

The all-new reporting tool gives platform managers the ability to schedule and share reports, download PDFs, and print and e-mail reports from inside the application.

Scheduling Reports: The upgraded Generate Reports application will provide the ability to create automated reports, so platform managers can “set it and forget it,” said Product Manager Misty Pratt.

In the past, platform managers were required to create copies of old reports to re-run in the future. Now, with just a few clicks, reports can be automated to run at chosen intervals.

Sharing Reports: Inside Generate Reports, platform managers can now manually send a report from inside the platform to an e-mail address outside of TargetSolutions. This makes it possible to share reports with whomever you need – whether it be a regulatory agency, a different fire department, or anyone else – with less hassle.

You can also share reports with other platform managers within the reports application. For instance, a platform manager can now set up a “C Shift Overdue” report and then share it with his C shift supervisor and the supervisor will see it on his reports page.

Additional features include the ability to download report files in PDF, as well as CSV files, and set up automated e-mails that deliver direct links to reports, eliminating the need to log in and saving time by simplifying the reviewing process.

“We’re very proud of these enhancements and we think clients will be proud of them too,” said Pratt. “The ability to schedule automated reports with this kind of detail is going to be a huge time saver for organizations that need to run regular reports. Now, they can set it and forget it.

“TargetSolutions is always striving to limit the amount of work platform managers need to do in the system. We want TargetSolutions to be working for you while you’re working on other things for your organization.”

When preparing the new application, TargetSolutions’ development team analyzed how Generate Reports was being used.

“We looked at the current use cases for reporting and worked to improve the application to really address clients’ needs. The goal was to make reporting easier to use and more efficient with more automation.”

TargetSolutions’ online training management system will have a new look in late August.

New Look, New Feel: While the Generate Reports tool has undergone sweeping upgrades, platform managers and users alike will be impressed by TargetSolutions’ new look and feel.

It’s a subtle change to the platform’s classic user interface, but the system now features a flatter, sleeker design.

“We re-designed the platform for functionality,” said Pratt. “It’s a cleaner, more modern look and feel.”

Upcoming Webinars: The new application is scheduled to be released in late August and overview webinars are scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 1:30 p.m. (PDT) and Thursday, Sept. 3 at 10:30 a.m. (PDT).
